Might be an interesting list

Some of these obviously kept in the shadows as a liability, others (i.e. Starmer and Thornberry) are probably quite happy with that if they calculated that there was no way JC would win.

Leadership campaigns will begin on Friday morning I expect.

The big day tomorrow.

I am amazed at the polls. Really hope they are wrong.

Me too. I cannot believe people (except those who go through life on benefits) are stupid enough to believe Corbyn/McDonnel crap. What short memories or how uneducated are the populace?

200 seat majority is how it should be.

Any less and our education system is still lagging behind, even though results show it is leaping back up international standards tables.

State of that post, you’ve done well, condescending, sneering & judgemental in such few sentences.

You don't need to worry about that,they are all Labour supporters.

Brilliant! A ban? How do I go about getting one of those? (I’d guess it’s to do with calling Tory voters naughty words). I’ve just about had it with social media “debate” regarding the two main parties I’m afraid, but keep getting drawn in, ineluctably.

I find it truly baffling that people are entirely able and willing to ignore the complete shambles of the last nine years, and vote for the Tories again (being 40 odd years old, I can remember the previous Tory administrations demonstrating similar amounts of disdain and contempt for the electorate, although I’ll admit that this campaign has seen hitherto unknown amounts of brazen duplicity).

There is incompetence, and shameless ambition on display from these reckless fools, and yet, there are people in their droves wanting to continue their line of brutal cuts. I can understand the wealthy wanting to protect their own status. I do not, however comprehend how anyone on the breadline can see the Tories for anything other then the vain, avaricious hypocrites they really are.

It’s the generations after me I feel sorry for.

In response to those who’ve accused me of abject failure. I’m retired at 43 and quite happy thanks: and getting more and more left wing as I get older. Self interest has no interest for me, and only those who are grasping, selfish, and inward looking would seek to re-elect the imbeciles currently in government .

I’m off to do my bit tomorrow, ferrying the less able to and fro the polling station.

Retired or “kept” (according to your profile)? There’s a difference. If you’re kept and not working at 43, it’s no wonder you’re happy to be kept by the state rather than by someone else.

Feckless ...

I've (postal) voted Boris. First Tory vote of my life. I don't like him, he's a knob, but it's better than a far left socialist Corbyn at the helm. I predict Boris will get a clear majority, which hopefully will be the end of JC, and a credible opposition can be formed. That's my hope.

One of your few sensible posts

That comres one looks like an outlier but even so, tomorrow my tipples of choice will be a glass or two of a fine Bordeaux, followed by a nice Dalwhinnie, and a side order of revolver if it all starts getting a bit CCCP around 2 in the morning.

Enjoy tomorrow and remember to vote!
(My money is on a 30-40 majority for the Tories: those numbers look mostly strong).

I'm going 25-30

My prediction is another hung parliament. 310 seats for the Tories.

(Note this is prediction, not hope.)

The people are smart enough to know when they're being lied to by a weak leader who looks like a wreck. That's why the Tory lead is falling away. Pure and simple.

What is simple is that the last few days of constant media attacks on Johnson have probably had the exact opposite effect to what you suggest. Many people like Boris, how many people on the street when interviewed have said as much. Nobody likes to see one of their mates beaten up... and I think this will show out in the election tomorrow not long to wait now...

Tories start melting if they come in to contact with a bit of perfume? Hahaha. Says a lot about their personal hygiene I think and probably why they support a leader who looks like he has just crawled out of a sewer.

But seriously, this Tory activist may have just stank and a member of the public was giving a helping hand? Nothing to see here.

I know the uncle and aunt of Katie Piper. To make light of acid attacks or suspected acid attacks is disgusting.

It's neither an acid attack nor a suspected acid attack. You're looking for offence where there is none. Grow up.

It is disgusting. No one should ever expect to have an unidentified liquid thrown in their face no matter what their views.

Aware you’re a momentum troll but you shouldn’t really tell someone to grow up before looking at your own conduct in this forum.

Incorrect. It will be the old Tories who fail to go out in the bad weather. Labour have a massive amount of volunteers who will get out the vote.

It will do and given the appalling stunts pulled by Labour would show up just how appalling your hero Corbyn is in not being able to capitalise on the opportunities that Johnson has presented.

Corbyn failed in 2017 despite promising the equivalent of a lottery win to anyone who voted Labour, the repeated promises in 2019 have failed yet again, your disappointment on Friday morning will be a treat to witness, but you'll do a Johnson and hide away

Quite the opposite in fact. The more the public see of Boris, the more they dislike him. His approval ratings are appalling and would be the lowest ever for an incoming prime minister if he wins.

People will have been put off by the cowardly behavious he has shown. Not a good look if you want to lead this country.

The problem (for me, at least) is that a "credible opposition" can't unleave us from the EU.
